Hopefully somebody here can help solve a workplace dispute: is it an example of bad grammar to use the term "least bad", i.e. "If we had to lose a document, these were the least bad ones to lose." A colleague used this the other day and insists that this is not grammatically incorrect, however I beleive that it should be "If we had to lose a document, these were the best ones to lose." As we are both accountants (and I ahve a maths degree) I wouldn't want to trust either one us in matters relating to grammar, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
